    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a sputtering apparatus capable of obtaining an adequate film thickness distribution on a substrate surface even if a target projection plane is kept from being projected on the substrate. A sputtering apparatus includes: a process chamber; a substrate holder being rotatable in an in-plane direction of the substrate while holding the substrate; and a sputtering cathode located obliquely to the substrate holder, and arranged to incline to the substrate holder.
